Funny post, but unfortunately, all these fab five morons were talking about Grant Hill who went onto beat the shite out of them in the very next clip

The father was different from Junior, that's for sure. Junior was and is, a coward! He found a way to stay out of Vietnam and he capitulated to Democrats, especially to the Obamas. I wouldn't be surprised if he and his wife are into swapping with Barry and Michael.

What is a "Bush Republican" to you?
- Pro big business
- Pro spreading “Democracy by force”
- Generally pro-Christianity - or at least not actively trying to drive it out of the country like the Socialist Left.
- Wobbly-kneed (at best) on illegal immigration.
-Wobbly-kneed (at best) on the variety of other “culture war” issues.
-Overly concerned with not making the Left or the Mainstream Media get too upset with them.
-Can skillfully talk on the “red meat” issues important to conservative voters but the talk rarely resulted in advancement of permanent conservative achievements for the good of the country.
- Very good at going on the Sunday morning talk-show circuits and running for re-elections and promising “what will be done” if voters only help to ensure GOP majorities.

RINO. They get elected on conservative principles and then slide left after the election. More about the UniParty than the conservative principles.

A RINO.

That would be a Democrat of 30 years ago.
The Bush's just don't like Trump because of how he treated Jeb and for calling out all of the special interest donors that were propping up Jeb's presidential run. The Bush's have been deep state since forever.

A personal friend (who died in 2022 at the age of 90) who was a Bush Republican explained to me how this came about.
In the 1960s there was a price cap at the wellhead on oil and gas production. Indie oil men in Texas saw that a lot of new exploration in the US would cost more than oil and gas produced. Thus the nation would be reliant on other nations which would be a major security issue
As a result they tried to met with legislators and the Dems wouldn't even meet while GOP would listen to their concerns. GHWB was a member and the only lifelong Republican. The rest of the flipped from Dem to GOP. GHWB was their standard bearer. Also part of that group was Albert "Ab" Fay who became chairman of TX GOP, but was originally from NOLA. Ab's dad married into a major Lake Charles family. Bel, with over 100,000 acres in timber, oil/gas, rice, and cattle holdings. Ab mentored my friend in how to make campaign donations. You don't throw a lot of money at a candidate but instead give a few hundred to the campaign and see how they do before putting up any more money if they need it. near the end. Also, campaign donations only mean you are more likely to be heard by them with advice. A lot of money doesn't buy them,
He was GHWB's campaign treasurer when he won a seat in Congress and flipped a lot of indie oil men, not previously involved, to the GOP. He remained a faithful Bush supporter out of allegiance more than policy later on, supporting W and even Jeb!. He reduced his activity in politics before 2016.
You need to remember that Texas wasn't Republican until the 1990s. It produced some of the most radical leftist politicians. Cissy Farenthold, Corpus Christi, was a VP candidate at the DNC to George McGovern but considered too far to the left of McGovern so came in 2nd place in voting.

A democrat that goes the speed limit. aka a loser that will sell you and me out just like the Dems but will lie to us and say they'll fix things so long as we get them elected into office. Where they'll do nothing.
